Also, in contention for worst new-ish building anywhere in the universe, I submit 15 William. Who thought this was a good idea for lower Manhattan? That pic is probably bad enough, but I can't find one that adequately conveys how absolutely atrocious this thing looks in the skyline.

WESTIE HAS RETURNED! Welcome back - hope you’ve been well.

Traffic would in fact be better, but only because there would be fewer residents and fewer jobs in a city strangled by highways and ramps in which nobody wants to live and work.

Thanks! My local radius takes me to the Unlikely Story bookstore in Plainville (https://www.anunlikelystory.com/) - beautiful place - as well as Briggs Nursery in North Attleboro. I guess next time I'm out that way I should take a stop in the center.

Hi Evo, Can you give some context to what Attleboro is like, for those of us who aren't familiar? I don't live all that far away, actually, but I have never been through.

Hi Skyrise, Thank you for taking this on. I'm sure you did your due-diligence on this purchase, so you must have had a sense for the fact that Briv was absent day-to-day and that we we largely self-managing (with severe limitations on Statler, the one mod who was active). You'd likely also seen...

Re: Official City Hall Plaza Proposals $70 Million (!) that won't make much of a difference. In winter it will still be cold and lifeless. In summer people will have many other nearby parks they'd just as likely be patronizing. They programmed the Congress Street side of the plaza, but the...

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Page 28 plots out the ground floor program. Retail along the Greenway is very positive, even if the facade itself at street level will be hideous. Clinton Street really gets the shaft, which is unfortunate because it's now going to be...

First of all, it's great to have new members here, finally - welcome! Cool idea for a thread, much of these pics are sadly buried in obscurity in Crazy Transit Pitches and Green Line Reconfig threads... BUT, I don't think the creators of the maps there will have much incentive to go back to...

+1000. If Needham makes the switch, then the relative inaccessibility of the Seaport would hardly be unique to Needham. The SL's stub-end at South Station means that any place not on the RL or south-side CR will be a 2-transfer schlep.* That's why making the Piers Transitway a GL service...

Re: What's Happening With Project X? I can't suggest the "Ignore List" enough.

Holyoke is another local-ish town with a strong grid, very un-New England.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Is the name "innovation district" still in any official or colloquial use?

What? A good deal of the T system still covers areas I'd consider affordable, including the RL which serves the Seaport, as well as SL Chelsea and its transfers via the BL. It seems rather alarmist to say that service workers can't afford Boston. True, they can't afford the Seaport or Back Bay...

Ignore List. Take my word for it - makes a world of a difference.

What is Peabody like?
